Paypal Extra Mastercard

in Credit cards
I was talking to someone yesterday, who said they had just got a Paypal Extra Mastercard.

Now as far as I knew the Paypal Extra card was only available to customers in the US. I have looked all over Paypal UK to try and find out about this mysterious card but I can't find a thing about it!

Can anyone tell me if this card exists in the UK and where to find information about it. I am curious now and hate not being able to find things out

    I already did that, it's not as simple as that. the only info I can find refers to a card that you can only get in the US.

    They used to do a credit card that was operated by Santander, but I believe that was withdrawn some time ago. They do a prepaid MasterCard, that is linked to your Paypal account, so if you have a balance in your Paypal account, you can spend it using the card. I have one, which I was sent as a replacement for the old top up card.

    Is that the access card you are referring to...

    I thought that was / is only available to pre.selected people.

    Yes the Access card. I know when it first launched it was mainly sent to people who had the old Top Up card, but I'm not sure of its availability now.

    Just signed up for the access card, not a credit card as such though, as only takes money from your paypal balance.

    They were running an offer if you make three purchases in October you get a £10 credit.

    The only link I can find is this one https://www.paypal-marketing.co.uk/accesscard/

    Looks like it is still invite only though, but give them a ring, they might give you one
